RewriteURIs feature gate status

[dschniepp]

Hello, how is the process for feature gates to get promoted to GA? Especially I am curious about the future of RewriteURIs .

Feature gates are removed during major releases because it's a breaking change. Configuration of not supported (or removed) feature gate stops controller from booting

@programmer04 thanks, I assumed so, too. But somehow it didn't get removed with version 3.x.x https://docs.konghq.com/kubernetes-ingress-controller/latest/reference/feature-gates/.

Sorry, I wasn't precise. Of course, besides the release of the major version, the team has to decide that the feature is mature enough too in terms of API, stability, etc. So basically, the release of a major version should be regarded as a necessary but not sufficient condition for removing a feature gate
